Universal 11160 Bite Block (Adult)™ – Bite Block Solutions for ET Tube Protection
Common in the airway management of the intubated patient is the use of an oral airway. Oral airways prevent biting of the endotracheal tube however they do not protect the pilot balloon and may actually increase the incidence of rupture. Biting of the endotracheal tube is a prevalent occurrence for intubated patients.
The Universal Bite Block reduces costs associated with re-intubation. Part Number 11160 fits 6 to 9.5 mm endotracheal tubes. The Universal Bite Block assures around the tube protection from biting of the endotracheal tube for long term intubations.
